The Declaration Tour was the first headlining concert tour of the American rock singer-songwriter[1] David Cook, who rose to fame after winning the seventh season of American Idol.

The tour is named after "Declaration", the first track from the album and started on February 13, 2009, in Tallahassee, Florida, following Cook's appearance at Walt Disney World Resort's The American Idol Experience attraction.

Part of that experience is bringing back this college tour idea.

And besides, touring on a bus beats what we used to do, which was cram five guys into a seven passenger van for one show, 13 hours away..."Cook was originally supported on the tour with musicians Neal Tiemann (lead guitar, backing vocals), Andy Skib (rhythm guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), Kyle Peek (drums, backing vocals), and Joey Clement (bass guitar).

Others who opened for David Cook include his friends from Tulsa; Bryan Jewett and Phil Marshall.
